If there is one quality that more than another seems to distinguish the members of the Great German Powers from Emperors and Kings down to meaner individuals, it is that of self-satisfaction. All that they do is right, and all that they under. take seems to prosper, according to their showing. Events that would appear untoward to a casual observer, at all events in their consequences, are considered perfectly justified, and the maxim seems to be to let the end sanctify the means. The Em peror of AUSTRIA is an exception to the rule, and those who peruse his speech at the opening of the Reichsrath will be of opinion that his MAJESTY is tolerably well satisfied with himself and his belong ings. Everything was couleur de rose, and he had only to rehearse a series of events which redounded to the credit of his family, the honour of his king dom, and the glory of his reign. His felicitations as to the selection of his brother to the Empire of Mcnico were very natural, and so far we can go with him in his satisfactory survey of recent events. It is, however, difficult to read with patience the sentence with which he introduces the summary of the war which has taken place this year. "A subs ject of dispute for many y e ars in the north of Ger many has just been settled in the most honourable manner." It, must be on very high authority that we rely, if we are to credit such a description of a contest, whose origia excited suspicion that its pro secution more than realised, and whose issue roused the indignation of all 11,nest minds in the nations that witnessed it. It is reported that a monarch of France insisted on returning to captivity, be cause his ransom was not paid as was promised up in his liberation. When they tried to dissuade b u n from his notion, he declared that if truth and honour were banished from the rest of the world, they ought to be enshrined in the breasts of princes. A very different' code of morality and standard of principle would seem to pervade the purpo se and actuate the spirit of the rulers of the German kingdoms nowadays, and the words once held a s sacred in their meaning and import are now twisted and travestied to servo the turn cf the - hour and suit the exigencies of the moment. It would surely have been more consistent to have said successful or satisfaptory, or any such like word, rather than go out of the way to assume a virtue which cer teinly had no foundation in fact. The EMPEROR has given the war a name ,vhich had no local habi point of view we tation, regard it from whatever THE SVN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1864. FURZE AND GORSE AS FODDER, may. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that it was lawful to wrest from Denmark the fairest portion of her possessions, it can scarcely be called honourable where many triumph over the weak, and armed hosts gain the victory over armies that are not composed of serried ranks, but count their battalions few and far between in compari son with those of their foes. Continuing the ad dress, we learn that the peace which has been signed fulfils the highest expectations. Some well-wishers to Austria and Prussia tried to per suade themselves and others that nothing was further from the intentians of the aggressive parties in the strife than to fullow up any advantage which the chances of war and the superiority of power might present to them. They may now learn that " expectations" had been formed of some such final glory to the warlike venture. The enchantment which dis tance lent to their view has not disappointed them, upon a nearer approach, but, on the contrary, they seem inclined to follow Earl RUSSELL'S advice to rest and be thankful. If any thing were wanting to complete the extravagance of this whole passage, it would be the explanation of the means that have conduced to the happy issue. It is, then, to the courage of the allied troops that the Germans are indebted for their gain and glory. If it required each a vast ex penditure of this quality to face foes when the odds were so much in their own favour, what will they do to get up a sufficient supply if the day should come that calls upon them to meet foes equal in strength and numbers, to say nothing of those superior in both. It is paying no com pliment to those who fought under the Rags of the allied armies to tell them that they have done won ders, and are greatly to be respected in consequence. They must have been carpet knights and fair weather sailors, if the army and navy of gallant but weak Denmark had sufficed to withstand their troops or annihilate their ships. While Europe was almost bursting with suppressed rage at the cruel treatment received by the Danes, we find that their oppressors have been proclaiming themselves to be heroes, and now wish the admiring world to weave the laurel and prepare the bay. The Aus trian EMPEROR must follow the example of his august federal ally, the King of PRUSSIA," a craven himself, for neither will the voice of popular opi nion nor the feeling of influential individuals be in his favour. The solution" of the Schleswig- Holstein question is, we are told, glorious and happy." The affair is about as happy for the Danes as it is glorious to the Germans, according to the light of reason and the immovable decrees of right ; but the language of the Allies is quite another affair, and cannot be influenced by such high flawn sentiments and antiquated ideas. The EM PEROR went on to state that the unfortunate events that had occurred in Holland had compelled his Government to take "exceptional measures." He may well add that he regrets the stern necessity when we call to mind that one of the " exceptional cases" was to condemn a young nobleman to twelve years' solitary imprisonment in a dungeon in chains It is held as a doctrine that is of infallible truth: that it is not lawful to do evil that good may come of it, but, according to the Austrian EMPEROR'S ac count, all the bad actions and unjustifiable regulaa lations of his kingdom produce the best effects, and secure the most desirable ends. It is most discou. raging to those who act in conformity to the scruples of conscience and the claims of j'tstico to learn how the works of darkness produce such great and glorious results. Besides the. benefits and blessings that have accrued from the DAno. German war, the means adopted for the suppres. iion of the Polish insurrection have, we are told, wen eminently successful for the security of the imperilled interests" of peace and the pro. tection of the peaceable population, His Ma- jesty concludes by wishing that he may receive the assistance of his Reichs:ath, and feels con fident that he will succeed in conducting the empire entrusted to him by PROVIDENCE " with a strong hand towards a fortunate future." If these fervent aspirations are fulfilled it will indeed be a dark day for progress, and a sad era for the lovers of liberty. Hope must bid the world farewell fen a season, while a brave people are trampled upon on one side, and freedom may shriek while patriots are tortured and their country converted into a slaughter-house. It is sad to think that such an address should emanate from an EMPEROR, the dawning of whose reign promised so well, and held out such a cheering prospect to all who desired the improvement of the people and elevation of the country. Bad iefluencea have been at work to mar And deface the goodly edifice of constitutional free dom that seemed about to become the bearer of pro. gress, and the herald of reform , It is all very well for Emperors to discourse to their senates, and Kings to hold forth to their armies, but the philo sophical politicians will distrust the seeming strength of such boastful asseverations, for the wit ness of history and the experience of ages Essure them that the strongest Governments are not the most austere and arbitrary ones, and that in times of trouble it is not the throne based on tyranny that survives the shock of revolutionary tactics. On the contrary, at such periods it is often seen that the self-sufficient are the first to fall and find their boasted resources collapse around them, while their power crumbles into dust, and conscience, at last arousing from its lethargy, informs them that those who sow the whirlwind must reap the storm. Within a very few days we shall probably re ceive from New York the intelligence of the result of that great election which has been foremost in Woe thoughts of all American politicians for many months past. Not in Ameriel alone is its issue an object of excitement and anxiety, but throughout Europe it is looked for with deep and earnest inte rest. In many quarters it is regarded as the national declaration of the North in favour of peace or war, and the solution of the great problem is supposed to be in the ballot boxes, notwithstand ing 111‘CLELLAN's declaration in favour of the Union at all haz Ards. But, in fact, the solution is not so simple. In the first place, no one for a moment questions that active interference on the part of the Federal Government is likely to exercise a material influence on the elections. Mr. LINCOLN, in fact, is hardly at the pains to conceal his readiness to resort to any means that will enable him to keep office; and the device of the Governor of Tennessee, not only to secure votes for his patron, but to sup preps those intended for that patron's rival, was absurdly transparent. In Louisiana and Kentucky it has been easy to find excuses for putting the polling booths into the hands of soldiers, while New York itself has witnessed the arrival of the obnoxi ous BUTLER, who is temporarily to supersede Gen. Dix, retaining his co-operation. No official reason is given for his presence, but it is not hard to supply the deficiency. Meanwhile, the Government is pro pounding a new and striking theory, which really for its boldness and its novelty deserves at any rate the credit of originality. They have suddenly disco vered that there is imminent danger of a raid from Canada, and, wonderf u l t o relate, Mr SEWARD has actually ascertained that there is a conspiracy among the Canadians to fire the price pal Northern cities on the day of the Presidential e'ection ! It is certainly a most singular coinciden c that the pro posed incendiaries should have fixed upon that very day, and of course it will be necessary to be armed at all points to repel the invaders—those formid able Canadians who are thus about to rush headlong into the very war which they profess to be most anxious to avoid. The Secretary of War very kindly informed the Mayors of New York and (Buffalo of the danger, but the Mayor of the former city, strange to say, did not appear conscious of the risk, and the Democratic press openly charge the Adminstration with fabricating the report in order to give the necessary excuse for putting cities under martial law. Of course, when the great event is well over, it will be easy to say that the intended scheme was frustrated by the wise precau'ions of the Government, and the same excuse will probably serve to account for General BUTLER'S uuex' petted presence. It is possible, indeed, that there may have been some collision between the civil and military authorities on the great day itself, for Governor SEYMOUR has declared that military in terference will be resisted with the whole force of the law, and great discontent is felt at the unblush ing tyranny exercised by the Administration. General Dex's proclamation, announcing that no military will be embodied round the polls, but that the military will, if necessary, assist the civil authorities, may be taken for what it is worth, and is not very likely to impose upon any one. Under these circumstances, it is idle to take the result of the election as a fair test of American feeling, or to suppose for one moment that it actually represents the wishes and opinions of the Northern States of the Union. If the popular sentiment were really in favour of LINCOLN, he would not need to resort to such devices, or act with a despotism as unscrupulous as it is oppressive. The ballot itself is no protection in such a state of things, though that fact furnishes no argument for its adversaries, since most assuredly fair open voting is equally impossible. No c:vil and consti tutional arrangements are subject to a fair test under martial law, and it is virtually an armed despotism which rules in the once free States. The people, sick and weary of the war, may yet find it difficult to give legal expression to their feelings, and the unscrupulous hypocrisy with which the LINCOLN Cabinet professes even now to be repre senting the real wishes and sentiments of the nation will scarcely fail to supply them with suffi cient effrontery to declare LINCOLN duly re-elected. Like the lion in the fable, their real excuse lies in the reckless exercise of their power. Individual opposition is hopeless while the gates of Fort Lafayette stand open ready to receive any too free spoken adversary of the Government, and until we see an extensively organised opposition their pro ceeding will be difficult to check. But we very much question whether, after all, the Presidential election may be held to decide the policy of the Federal States for the next four years; whether the issue of peace or war lies between LINCOLN and M'CLELLAN. If ABRAHAM LINCOLN were elected twenty times over, he could not go on playing his desperate game without materials. Men and money ere the first requisites for every campaign, and the North has well nigh exhausted both. The last conscription nearly aroused New York to rebellion while gold stands at a premium hardly credible even for American recklessness. When taxes are imposed at a rate, and with a comprehensiveness that even raises lucifer matches from 8 cents. to 50 cents. a pack, and the national debt is increasing daily by a sum that would once have been sufficient for the debt itself, it is a strange time to talk of prolonging the war four years. The North must inevitably ccme to a standstill, sooner or later, for lack of men and of money, and such a termination will be more inglorious than a defeat or conces sion. We are not to suppose that the Northern people will always submit to the despotism of the LINCOLN Cabinet. Though the Stiites are far from acting on the principle which makes Paris represent France, yet New York alone is powerful enough to overthrow the dynasty if it would. The commercial interests engaged in the maintenance of the war,the rapid fortunes made by unscrupulous speculators and contractors,all influence the people. There is no one brave enough, wise enough, and above all public spirited and disinterested enough to stand forward as the WASHINGTON of his time. Yet America has produced great men, and can pro duce them still, as the Southern leaders testify. Where are they, then, in this crisis in the North P Meanwhile the _Richmond Sentinel, the Confederate cfMal organ, recommends the aiming of the slaves —a piece of intelligence no less important in a social than a military point of view. It is the first step towards the recognition of the rights of the African race, the first step towards that ultimate mancipation and abolition which every well-wisher of the South must solemnly desire. No doubt it will for this reason meet with strong opposition ; but JEFFERSON DAVIS is not a man to be easily shaken-from his purpose, and the necessities of the war are paramount. By this bold move ho will so greatly strengthen his forces as to be able to under take a decisive movement, and the Federal generals will not easily obtain reinforcements to match him. The military news brought by the Belgian is not important. It records the advance of HOOD i❑ Tennessee, with what result we shall probably hear by the next mail, for the other Confederate generals in the vicinity are concentrating their forces, and the Southern papers are full of confidence. One pointin the news brought by the latest mail must not he overlooked. GRANT'S troops are building log houses, not very significant we may suppose of an immediate capture of Rich mond. ADMIRALTY, Nov. 16, 1864.—A1l letters for the officers, seamen, and marines stationed at the new Australian settlement at Cape York, in the vicinity of Torres Straits, should be addressed to " Somer set, Queensland." A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street. The Ministers present were Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, Sir George Grey, Earl Russell, the Right Hon. Edward. Card• well, Earl De Grey, Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Riglit Hon. T. Milner Gibson, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Earl of Clarendon, and the Right Hon. C. P, Villiers. The Gazette du Midi relates the following loci-. dent which is said to have occurred on the occasion of King Leopold's recent passage through Marseilles. His Majesty, who travelled strictly incognito, entered the Cafe Bodoni, and sat down at a table close by two persons who were playing at dominoes. He appeared to watch the game with great interest, and even gave way to a slight move ment of impatience when a wrong domino was played. The player observed this movement, and said, " Perhaps you would not have played so ?" " No," said the King, " 1 should not." Some minutes later the King again made a similar movement, aril the player then remarked with some ill-humour, " You think I have again played wrong ?" " Yes," replied his Majesty, "I should have played the double five." The player felt annoyed, and, shrugging his shoulders, said, "You are a donkey I" A moment after the King rose, Paid his reckoning, and withdrew. During this scene the player had noticed that one of the waiters kept making signs to him which he could not understand, and after the King's departure ho asked for an explanation. " I merely wanted to let you know," said the waiter, " that you were talking to the King of the Belgians," " Indeed I" exclaimed the player, " then I am afraid I have not been over polite," The waiter seemed fully to concur in this sentiment, A correspondent of the 3lemorial de la Loire mentions the following fact as a proof that certain journals are ill-informed as to the attitude of persons in high quar ters. Before her departure fgr Compeigne the Empress desired M. Nigra to present to her his son, who is a pupil at the College of Ste.-Barbe. The Minister of course ac ceded to this wish, and both himself and son were most graciously received by her Majesty. An ingenious country gentleman of Ireland—' one Mr John Walsh, of Stedalt, Balbriggan, in the province of Leinster—has recently suggested an entirely novel plan, by the adoption of which cattle maybe fattened economically. Mr Walsh's name is to us as the name of a total stranger: and, having even no knowledge of the mere fact of his existence until yesterday, we can speak, as we certainly do speak, of his suggestion in regard to the employment of wild Gorse or the common Furze as Fodder, quite dispassionately. It is not simply that the originator of this scheme for the turning to good account of plants growing abundantly on waste lands—plants hitherto turned to no account whatever—it is not simply that Mr. Walsh has the merit of directing the attention of cattle-feeders to the nutriment, in the way of Fodder, lying unnoticed and uncared for in acres of Gorse end Furze. But—in addition to this—he appears to have won for himself the credit of contriving a machine, a very simple but very effectual cutting or champing machine, a machine already beginning to be known as Walsh's Patent Furze Bruiser, by the operations of which Gorse, or Furze, may be prepared as food for any description of stock. The same machine being useful, moreover, for other purposes, such as breaking down oilcakes and locust beans, and, beyond this, for pulping roots. Small, ills grown turnips, such as are usually left in the field, Mr Walsh argues (we presume from his own expe rience) can be turned to account in this manner—of itself a matter of some little consideration to Agriculturists as connected with their various econo mic arrangements, In a review of a little pamphlet explanatory of the scheme thus referred to, a pam phlet reeently published at Drogheda, we find it re marked in a recent number of the Gardener's Chronicle as follows : "Mr. Walsh," says our contemporary, the Garkneee Chronicle, "has repeatedly called attention in our columns to the U9O of gorse as food for cattle. He here describes the machine by which the furzs shoots are reduced to an edible pulp. It acts by a number of saw-tooth discs revolving in to one another. When made with two rollers it is called a single machine, when with four rollers it is termed the double machine, and is then worked by power, A number of testimonials to the efficiency of the implement are pub lished from well-known and trustworthy correspondents. — Mr Dawson A. Milward of Tullogher, and the Rev, W. D. Fox among them are known to us—and their favourable testimony may be accepted as perfectly conclusive." The subjoined, it is then added, is Mr. Walsh's statement on the subj,ct _ _ "The operation of it is to tear up, and at the same time to crush and soften the stuff, so that the prickles are rendered inert, and the woody parts made more easy of mastication. Of the numerous contrivances which have from time to timb been applied to the purpose, none has been found to act so effectually, and at so little cost, or with so little labour, as this one. All those hitherto in use have failed to give complete satisfaction from various causes. Some, because their inventors, fancying it necessary that the material should be reducel to a perfect pulp, have, to that end constructed, very complicated and expensive machines. These, requiring a vast deal of power, wasted much time and superfluous labour to produce a result which was not called for, and in quantities not at all adequate to the expense. Oa the other hand, machines are much in use which are supposed to cut the furze into 4 or i inch lengths. These are inefficient, inasmuch as they do not soften the stuff, so that a subsequent operation by pounding or rolling becomes necessary, without which horned cattle cannot take it freely. In that rough state horses may eat it, but cows will not, unless starved into doing so. The machine described meets all these objections, neither doing too much nor toe little, besides possessing this great advantage—that it offers the facility of preparing the stuff to different degrees of fine ness, according to the class of animals it is required for, by passing it through once, twice, or three times. For horses, whose mouths are harder, it is sufficient to pass it once, For cows and stores, it is found best to pass it twice, which process does not involve as much labour as would appear at first sight, as the second run takes only half the time the first one does. A. third run only requires half the time that the second one does ; this is recommended only for calves and sheep, and for fattening cattle in the stalls. The application of fut zs to the fattening of cattle is rather •a new feature in the cultivation of this plant, probably unknown to many; but the practice of the last few years has proved it to be a most important auxiliary tor that purpose, not only as taking the place of more expen sive food. but as contributing to increase the digestive powers of the animals, and to improve the quality of the meat. With 4 stones of turnips, 2to 3 stones of furze, and the usual allowance of meal daily, beasts have been fattened to 7 cwt. in a much shorter time than under the usual treat ment. Without a suitable instrument for its preparation, these results would never have been arrived at ; nor could the valuable nutritive properties of the plant, as shown by the annexed analyses, and confirmed by practice, hay) been brought out. It is true that many people have long been using furze for horses and cattle by means of the old appliances; but, by referring to the accowpanying letters, it will be seen that some of the writers had been using the ordinary chaff-cutters, but now make use of this machine in preference. It is simple in its construction and operation. It can be attached to any horse gear, one-horse power being suf f icient for the double one ; but a two-horse one will give more than a proportional in crease in the amount of work done. The single one can be worked by power as well. In the cultivation of flux', great stress has been laid upon the importance of having the fu, ze grown close and thick, so as to cause the shoots to be drawn up and tender, and more easily masticated when cut by the chaff cutter. With the new machine, th's pre caution is unnecessary, as it will reduce the coarsest and moat be brought to it. Where it w nothing Was t o b e h a d but strong maos first Stubborn mad e shootsuse of, that may shoots, cut by hand off hedge-rows and bushes, sometimes with stalks more than half an inch thick, Of these, the machine would easily prepare 4 cwt, is the hour, passing it twice. This is given as the average quantity done in re gular work, for a touch larger qu an ti ty h as b een d one when -pecial trials were made." The Gardeners' Chronicle further remarks that — "Analyses are given by Dr Voelcker, Dr Cameron, and Mr Masters, of Belfast. Dr Cameron's analysis in April, put the water present at 78 per cent, ; the woody fibre, 10 ; the nitrogenous portions at 2.18; and the starch, &0., at 82. Mr Masters, analysing a sample in Sepember, of no doubt drier and riper stuff, found only 67 of water, 221 of woody fibre, 8 of nitrogenous matter, and 10 of starch. While Dr Voelcker, who examined a very much drier speci men, found only 32i per cent, of water, and as much as 17i per cent. of nitrogenous matter." In a letter from the Inventor of the Plan and of the Machine—a communication witten by him within this present month of November—we find him thus addressing one of his inquiring correspon dents :—" In reply to your favour of the sth," he writes, " respecting my furze machine, I have to say that it is not to be had in England for sale at present, I get them manufactured in Drogheda within a few miles of my ow n residence as ordered. Hitherto I have n o t b ee n able to do more than execute the orders received. By the circulars which I send you by this post you will see that only three of th em h ave as yet been forwarded across the Channel, [l:he italics are our own.] I endeavoured to form a connec tion witn some of the English houses , but none of them would e n t er t a i n it. lam not a man ufacturer myself, b e i ng on l y a co untry gentle man, engaged in farming ; knowing what a vain. able source of provender was neglected, I turned my attention to improving the usual means adopted to the use of gorse. T have so far succeeded , that it is now beginning to b e ma de use of in ways never before contemplated. I t i s generally considered to be a good resource in treasons of dearth, or as being suited to derive some benefit from lands tota ll y unfit for anything eke. I take to mys elf the merit of having demonstrat e d that it may be useful even in the most fertile districts, such as our own, which is the great grazing county of Meath. I have shown that it can be made an important auxie liary in fatten ing cattle either out or in stalls, quite irrespective of seasons of dearth or plenty. I have endeavoured to establish a low pr:c3, by making a serviceable implement, without any pre tensions to show which I can dispense with, not having to maintain a character for finish which a re gular implement maker would be under the necessity of doing. I make two s;zas ; one is the double mar. shine for power, price £9 9s. The single one, for hand power, is made at 1;6 6s. I find I cannot go lower. It is to be regretted, in a national point of view, that this resource doss not engage more of the attention of the agricuituristp.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) POLAND. WARSAW, Nov. 10. At noon to-day the Viceroy, Count Berg, opened the ordinary session of the State Council for the Kingdom of Poland with the following speech in French : " Gentlemen,—While I bid you welcome, I have satisfaction in directing your attention to the pro gress made in tranquillising the country since your last meeting. Evidently, however, as this is the case, we must not conceal from ourselves that imM portant labours still await us. "An extensive conspiracy and insurrectionary efforts have threatened the prosperity of all classes of the population. The present Government of the kingdom is called to the task of rebuilding the shattered edifice, in order to repair the damages Poland has inflicted upon herself. " We must reorganise all branches of the Ad■ ministration. "I invite you to commence with the examination of the budget for the year 1865. " You will learn with satisfaction that the Government of this country belongs to the number of those in Europe who are least in financial diffi culties, notwithstanding the losses and the extra ordinary expenses of the years 1863 and 1864. "I entertain the hope that we shall succeed, in a very brief period, in bringing the finances into a satisfactory condition, and that our labours in all other branches of the Administration will be at tended with the same result.

The Constitutionnel publishes another—and it is to be hoped a final—article from the pen of M. Paulin Limayrac on the Franco-Dalian Convention. In its pre . vious remarks the semi-official print had expressly stated its dissent from the views enter tained by M. Nigra and the Italian Ministers gene rally ; it now signifies that it completely agrees with the speech of General Le Marmora. After re capitulating it somewhat diffusely, M. Limayrac proceeds ;—" We have never said anything else; we have always admitted that opinions were unfortu nately divided on that subject; nor haie we ever doubted the difficulties to be overcome to effect a reconciliation between the Papacy and Italy. The object of the Convention of the 15th September was precisely to get rid of certain obstacles ; to remove certain difficulties, and to render that reconciliation possible. The Italian Government rightly counts on the effects of time; it was under the influence of the same idea that France concluded the Conven tion. Count Cavour, iedeee, in offering the guaran tees required by France, demanded that the latter should evacuate Rome within a fi rtnight. That pro posal was not accepted. A delay of two years was con sidered necessary by the French Government, and the larguage of General La Marmara shows how completely the contracting parties are now agreed on that point. His speech also shows, and we eon gratulate ourselves on the fact that the Italian Government repudiates any idea of settling the Roman question without the consent of France. Wc therefore commend the frank and open laeguage of Gen. La Marmora, and are convinced that after such explanations the Italian Parliament will vote by a large majority the Convention, which, now that h is sincerely interrupted and all ambiguity removed, will be loyally executed." The case of M. Mires against the judicial liqui dators of the " Caisse General des Chemins de Fer," MM. Bordeux and Richardiere, was decided yesterday by the Tribunal of Commerce, The Court declared that as the liquidators were acting in the case with all practicable celerity, and with due regard to the interests of the parties concerned, Mires was quite unfounded i❑ his complaint against them, and must be non-suited with costs. As a dressmaker was at a late hour, two nights ago, returning home, she took off her crinoline to walk faster, and carried it in her hand.

A telegram has been received from Hamburg, wiv.:ro the deceased has been employed as a corresponding . ..;lerk in a commercial firm, and it is fully expected that his mother will be in town in a day or two to recognise the body and head of the unfortunate man. Mr David Coroery, the contractor of Barking-road, the foreman of the jury, has made application to the coroner (Mr C. C.

General Poet office, Nov. 16, 1864• The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. The examination of those of the accused who are placed in the same category with Count Dzialynski is at length approaching its termination, and such of them as are absent on leave have been summoned to present themselves at the Court on the 3d inst. so as to be present when the counsel on both sides address the judges, which, however, will pro bably not be before the 9th inst. Count Boleslaus Chotomski, of the well-known house of Chotomski and Koronowicz, of Konigsberg, was examined on the 29th ult, He denied that he had established his firm for the purpose of facilitating the commercial transac tions of the National Government; his object had been only to develop the commercial resources of his country, and to overcome the prejudices of his fellow-nobles with regard to trading. After giving an eloquent picture of Polish pa. triotism and Polish suffering the count concluded by de claring it to be his conviction that there was no intention among the insurgents of attacking Prussia. His partner, M. Koronowicz, admitted that he had pur chased arms ; but denied that he had done so for the pur pose of assisting the Polish insurrection. J. Reichstein, a Russian subject, accused of having as slated the Polish insurgents, denied the charge, and declared he had never had any hostile desig , s with regard to Prussic. His former confessions were false, and had been extorted from him by threats that he would be given up to Russia. In support of the latter statement, Herr Elven examined a police inspector named Jagieleki, who denied that be had used any threats to the accused. The following conversation then took pliseq— Herr Elven—Did you not say to the accused, " I will send you to Mouravieff, and you will have to confess under the gallows ?" Witness (in confusion) —I can hardly recollect, Herr Elven—Pray, give me a defiaite answer. Witness (greatly confused)—l don't remember. It may be perhaps,• Herr Elven—Did you say you would put the accused in chains ? Witness—l don't know. I don't remember. The hearing of the case was resumed on the 31st, when W. Holz, a merchant of Konigsberg . , deponed he had Ire vently been connected with Reichstein and Count Cho tomaki in the purchase of arms. Herr Holthoff here remarked that the witness was not sworn, and was a spy by profession; and a witness was brought forward, who deposed that Holz had threatened to accuse him of providing the insurgents with arms if he did not give him 1,000 thalers. Messrs Holthoff and Elven then proposed that Count C hotomski, M. Koronowicz, and Reichstein be liberated. The court rejected the motion. J. W. Ketrzynski, accuse l of having purchased arms for the insurgents, said he knew nothing whatever about the Grand Duchy of Posen or the insurgents there, and denied every charge against him. The court refused to liberate him. At the next sitting, which took place on the 2d inst., Dr Schu'z and M. Gosoiki were examined also on the charge of hiving purchased arms f.,r the insurgents. Nothing mate rial was elicited against them. M. H. Goslawaki, who had been arrested with some other insurgents on the Prussian frontier, was next examined. He said he was not an officer, but a simple volunteer, among the insurgent troops ; nor was ho charged with the forma tion of a detachment. The notes to this effect found in his pocketbook were written by a spy named Desvarts. On the 3d inst. several of the counsel for the defence proposed motions for the liberation of their clients, all of which were rejected by the Court, A motion of M. Lent, that Councillor Kruger ho heard in the caao of the ticket with the red seal stated to have been found among M. Mos zozanski's papers, was also rejected. M. Collier made the following remarks regarding the en. listment of insurgents :—The enlistment of insurgents has been several times alluded to in the course of the trial. I never heard of any such enlistment in Prussia, and even in the kingdom of Poland it was forbidden by a decree of the National Government. The war was to be fought by volunteers only, and none but volunteers went with us to battle. I would never have consented to fight for so great, I may say so holy a cause, side by side with mercenaries. The sitting concluded with a speech from the Abbo Jaro chowski defending the conduct of his fellow-clergymen during the insurrection, UNWELCOME VISITORS.—The Sinus are off again, but this time they have taken away with them whatever they could lay their hands upon, whether begged or stolen. Horses, oxen, cows, calves, pigs, and other live stock were taken from the farmyards or the plains during the night when they commenced their departure, and either killed or driven out of the settlement by the least frequented :tracks. At one house a pane of glass was broken in each window, and every article within arm's length abstracted, and seve ral houses were broken open and plundered. They stole potatoes out of the fieldr,and coolly walking into the nearest house, asked to be allowed to cook them. The red rascals visited every house where they had sold children during their visit last winter, and took the children away, even against their wishes, in many cases. In one instance, the master of the house coming up, seized by the arm the boy they were dragging away, and several of the Sioux held on to the other arm, both sides pulling away, while the child was screaming with fright—at length the Sioux moved cif discomfited. They stole the communion cloth from the church at High Bluff, and some ornaments from the altar of the French chapel near Sturgeon Creek. In short, we have had such a warning on this visit that we must take steps to be prepared to make a stand against these invaders when next they come. They may profess that their object is to endea.. your to open up a trade with the settlement, but we must make such a display of force as will cause them to fear and respect us, or Elie we must place ourselves at their mercy, and the result will probably be the re-enactment in cur midst of the MinnesJta massacres.—.Nor'- Wester. WIGAN.—The Relief Committee met on Monday, and the retrace presented showed that for the first time for many weeks there had been an increase in the number of persons relieved and in the amount distributed. The increase was 40 persons. Last week the Guardians relieved 4,123 persons, at a cost of £266 2s 7d ; show ing an increase on the previous week of 76 persons, and of £3 Os in the amount paid. In the meeting of the Relief Committee, yesterday, the following re solution was moved :—" That in consequence of the re quirement of the Manchester Central Committee, all women having bastard children, and being in receipt of relief from this committee, be struck off the books, and that such women be not relieved for the future ; but that this committee cannot help expressing their strongest opinion that this resolution is unfair and impolitic." An amendment was moved to the effect that the relief be continued to the women as individuals, no regard being paid to the children ; but the motion was car ried by the casting vote of the chairman —A census of the factory operatives in the district, prepared in accordance with the request of the Manchester Committee by a house to house visitation, was laid before the meeting. This showed that there were 1,471 hands employed, 4,558 unemployed, 1,135 working at other trades, while 300 had left Wigan. The returns of those employed and unemployed are nearly correct, but it is evident that the lists of those who have left the town are from 1,509 to 2,000 below the real number; for the total number of operatives in the census is only 7,600, whilst when all the mills were working close upon 10,000 persons found employment in them. The Borough Surveyor has prepared a return of the money expended under the Public Works Act. The following is a summary : Materials on water works, £5,482—0n streets, £5,429—t0ta1, £10,911. Skilled labour : Water works, £6,418—0n streets, £O9G--total, £7,114. To factory operatives: Waterworks, £2,610 —on streets, £l,3l3—total, £3,932. It thus up ears that, although the factory opera. tives have only done two. sevenths of the work at the waterworks, they have received nearly two thirds of the money paid for improving the streets—a work which is still going ou very satisfactorily. The total amount expended under the Public Works Act has been £21,000, half of which has gone in materials. STATISTICS OF CRIME IN LIVERPOOL.—The chief constable of Liverpool (Major Greig), has just issued his annual report on the criminal results of the past year. This report shows that 4,326 indict b.ble offences have been committed during the year, against 4,00 in the pre vious year, and 2,125 persons had been apprehended, against 2,433 the year before. The magistrate had disposed of 36,448 summary cases, against 34,61.5 in the previous year.
